It is almost the end of the league stage, but the New York Yankees need to be in the picture of success. The reason behind this is the poor performance. The team failed to perform and is languishing behind in the race to the playoffs and might not make it to the playoffs for the first time since 2017. Given it has happened after close to $300 million in spending, critics have raised many questions. It includes the 1998 World Series winner David Wells, who called the team soft on 2023 Old Timers’ Day. Was he correct? Fans certainly think so.

The Yankees are one of the strongest MLB teams with 27 championship wins. The success has come in a challenging way, requiring strict functioning. But in the last decade, it has changed and is one reason behind their downfall. As Coach Prime Deion Sanders reflected on the hard mentality required for success, he received support from the Yankees fans. While reacting to it, they also added their weight behind his New York return to bring the Pinstripes back to their lost glory.

Coach Prime Deion Sanders Shows What Makes Him the Best

When it comes to the sports world, Deion Sanders is one of the inspirational personalities. The reason behind it is his glorious career which includes professional stints in MLB and NFL. Because of this, he receives a lot of love from both sects of fans. Even though he is engaged in football, the MLB world still listens to his words carefully.

The same was the scene when a baseball fan and X user shared his interview clips. It was about his coaching, but synced with sporting norms. Pointing towards the same, the user shared his thoughts. The tweet read, “We need this mentality in the Yankees organization SO BADLY. Stop coddling players and trying to spin negatives into positives. We need a dose of reality.”

It came after Deion shared, “We want everyone to feel good. That’s not the way life is. We’re old-school staff, we coach hard, we coach tough, we’re disciplined. So if you’re allowing verbiage to run you off because you don’t feel secure with your ability, you ain’t for us.” 

 

The words were harsh but depicted the problem teams were not catering to. Especially the Yankees, who failed to send back the players even after their poor performances. It led to a delay in the much-needed change, which hampered the team more. Fans who have seen New York doing this wrong agreeing with this reflected their pain,
